💎 TURQUOISE LORE:
Turquoise is perhaps the oldest stone in human history, revered as a sacred talisman by kings, shamans, and warriors alike. From the burial masks of Ancient Egypt to the intricate mosaics of the Aztecs, from Persian palaces to Native American jewelry, Turquoise has long been worn for its beauty, power, and protective qualities. Many cultures believed it brought strength, luck, and spiritual insight, while shielding the wearer from harm.
Geologically, Turquoise forms through the slow percolation of mineral-rich water into rock, often in arid regions. This gives rise to its distinct colour variations, ranging from pale sky blue to deep green, and its beautiful matrix patterns, which differ depending on the mine of origin. The stones in this collection come from a range of trusted sources in the US and Mexico, each with its own unique hue, pattern, and history.
Wearing Turquoise is said to awaken intuition and soothe the soul. It is a stone of peace and self-expression, thought to foster honest communication and deepen connections. Symbolising friendship and truth, it’s also a beloved travel companion, carried or worn for protection and guidance on life's journeys, both literal and spiritual.
